Sahrani campaign storyline:

Sahrani has been in chaos by the recent Civil War. The goverment has been overthrown and videos have shown up of executions of high-ranked Politcal members of the NATO friendly sided goverment As the island group is a part of the NATO Force they will now be supported by them with any means necesarry. Hoewever, before the main force arrives a small QRF of American soldiers whom where posted nearby have been ordered to migrate to the North-East airfield on the island of Antigua.

GAMENIGHT 9/1/16 RECAP

After one of the most bloody engagements of the Sahrani conflict in BAGANGO, where US Marines defended the town against most of the rebel forces, NATO has now turned into attacking mode with more of NATO`s designated forces arriving. Because of earlier captured positions such as the northern hills and the castle NATO now has full control of the Upper northen part of Sahrani, however insurgent activity is expected.

GAMENIGHT 16/1/16 RECAP
NATO forces engaged enemy strongholds near the town of EVERON and succeeded in clearing the forest south of the airfield. However, casualty numbers are shocking and Command needs to decide on how to lower these in future operations.
The barracks and the town were cleared out completely and civilians have started to move back into NATO-Occupied territory.

OPORD

 

SITUATION
The Joint Intelligence Committee assess that the threat of hostile military action in vicinity CORAZOL is now SEVERE, meaning an attack could occur at any time in the next two weeks and may do so without further warning signs. Intel suggests IED productions and ambushes being set up within and around the town.

All NATO forces in the SAHRANI vicinity have been ordered to NATO ALERT STATE ORANGE

MISSION

US NATO forces will conduct a patrol from AIRBASE PITA through CORAZOL to clear rebel activity and prevent the ''act-of-surprise'' on initial supply routes and other convoys to Southern Sahrani.
Aerial activity is to a minimum due to hidden AA sites and earlier lock-on situatuons when recon was conducted.
Due to the city`s narrow streets vehicle support is also limited.

SUPPORT & SERVICES
a) CASEVAC will be via Medical vehicles in vicinity of CORAZOL by MEDIVAC TEAM and/or MEDIVAC CHOPPER.
b ) Munitions, support weapons and OTHER will be supplied by CROSSROADS and Vortex north of CORAZOL.
 Ground & Aerial support are limited to MMG & MAT.

Medical system will be WITH medivac vehicles on the ground and same as latest Gauntlett medical.

[oO_ScarFace_Oo]

First person only sweet, Signed up but unsure if i will be able to attend because i going to Val-d'Isere for a week snowboarding, I guess we'll see then. :3

[Pancake]

Signed up, if I'm getting put as a TL please saddle me with people who have their head screwed on at least part way. Last time I lead was pretty fun, although that nudist MMG gunner is still a sore point.

[Nutek]

Let's Go !!! I'm in...

[Ryko]

Keep in mind folks we are still experimenting with ACE medical so it is still somewhat of a moving target.

[Icy]

As Ryko says, subject to change if not proven successful before Saturday.

If that was when I think it was, it's the bane of attracting new people to the server. I remember a couple of my fireteam rushing ahead, and when asked (ordered) to stay in formation, the reply was, "but I need muh kills."

 

It's funny until it's not.

[Icy]

If said thing happened they can be kicked as stated in topic, after a warning of course.

[fir_nev]

I will maybe sign up at the last minute. Hopefully, my game does not crash like the previous operation.

[Blue-958-]

Signed up, looking forward to it

[Mr.Mustache]

The unbanned Mustache will attend 

[Fraggloid]

Signed up under pilot slots; put a note in for co-pilot preference. First person locks limit my functional choices

[Icy]

[Icy]

Will be third enabled. Dont ask why

[Colsta]

I signed up, but something has come up since then. I might not be able to attend, so please don't count my sign up. If I can make it in time (or JIP) I'll take whatever slot.

[Radfahrer]

Late joiner, want to play with you again after all that long time abstaining .

 

If too late, no problems, but then I need you guys to kill all the things MAT style^^

Feedback:

1. Waiting time was not enjoyable: I understand it's a zeus made mission but couldn't more stuff have been placed down and organized before hand?
2. Desync: I remember Icy saying something about having it fixed after the first restart, which is good for future gamenight, but I had several AI bullshitery moments where desync dropped, I shot an enemy 10ish times then I was one shotted once the server caught up
3. Dis-organization: not a host or Zeus issue, but there was an incident where alpha had cleared a town and outlying farm, was about to depart then was asked to investigate a parachute that had come down in the town, which was then told to be a crate, queue a 5 minute search that turned up nothing then command told us to disregard the search. After that it was small leadership irks, indecisiveness mostly.
4. Med system: no clue what kind of state it's supposed to be in, getting knocked out by everything is annoying though, and only once did I wake back up to bandage my wounds.
5. Loadouts: Wrong ammo given for some guns, TL's spawned in with 40mm grenade launcher ammo and no launcher on the rifle. Yet again no pistol ammo meaning they're just dead weight.

[Colsta]

As I said on TS:

Just want to say I was extremely happy with everything MEDIVAC related. The medical tents, the vehicles, the FOB.

Regarding Leo's suggestion for a combat MEDIVAC, I disagree. I enjoyed being unarmed, without worrying about shooting or getting shot.

Thanks for your feedback. My answers:

1. The waiting was not because of the Zeus. Waiting is on command needing to get everyone set which takes a long time as you should know by now . I did create assets before hand, there was never waiting on the mission itself.

2. Desync was indeed not fixed, debugging in the coming days to fix it, something to do with a script executing on the server (loop). Very sorry about that.

3. I could create initial plan for platoon commander so it safes time. Idea?

4. You were very squishy as blufor, eu3 team is constantly trying to optimize it.

5. Noticed and already working on it !

Again, thanks for the feedback!
